Built for crane & rigging companies

The system of record
for your revenue.

CraneOps takes a job from quote to paid without losing a ticket, a signature, or an hour along the way. Built by someone who approves crane invoices from the buyer's side every day.

Quote Ticket Signoff Invoice Paid

One unbroken chain. Every link documented, defensible, and ready for audit.

The problem

Crane companies don't lose money on the lift.
They lose it on the paperwork.

Disputes

Hours you can't prove

A customer claims the crane was on site six hours, not eight, three weeks after the job. With a paper ticket in a truck console, you eat the difference. With a signed field POD, the dispute disappears.

Cash flow

Net 90 that won't start

On industrial work, the clock doesn't begin until the invoice is approved. A clean, complete invoice gets approved in days. A messy one sits for weeks before Net 90 even starts counting.

Labor

An office buried in re-entry

Your office manager spends a day a week chasing tickets, re-keying into QuickBooks, and fighting disputes. That's not billing. That's firefighting work the system should already have done.

Risk

An audit you can't answer

When the IRS asks for three years of per-diem proof, or OSHA wants the inspection logs, "let me dig through the files" is the wrong answer. The right one is a button.

How it works

From the field to the bank, one path.

Every step feeds the next. The data you capture once carries all the way through — and feeds QuickBooks instead of replacing it.

Step 01

Quote

Build a quote with multiple cranes, bare rentals, and specialty rigging on one job. Rates lock the moment it's accepted.

Step 02

Ticket

The crew logs every piece of equipment used, right from the field, on a form that reads as the job site they recognize.

Step 03

Signoff

The customer signs off in the field, timestamped, with photos attached. That signature is what kills the dispute later.

Step 04

Invoice

A clean, complete invoice generates the same day — as PDF, CSV, or Excel, in the format each customer's AP team requires.

Step 05

Paid

Approved faster because there's nothing to question. The whole chain stays on record, ready for the next audit.

Why this exists

Built from the side of the desk that approves the invoice.

Most software for this industry is built by software people who interviewed a few crane companies. CraneOps wasn't.

I spend my days managing contractors at a chemical plant — including crane crews — and I'm the one who approves or kicks back their invoices. I've watched clean billing get approved in a day and sloppy billing sit for weeks. I've seen what a missing signature costs, what an audit demands, and why a late invoice can mean six figures denied.

Every feature in CraneOps exists because I watched the problem it solves play out on real jobs, from both sides of the deal. That's the part a competitor can't copy.
